The coverall features a frontal opening extending from the stand-up collar to the crotch; a storm flap with four snap closures and Velcro at the bottom; a roll-up hood that can be concealed within the garment's collar by three snaps; long sleeves with elasticized cuffs; front chest pockets with flaps and snap closures; front hip pockets with zipper closures; a fully elasticized waist; belt loops in front; a permanently attached self-fabric belt in front; a tab with a D-ring located in the front; embroidery on the upper back; and elasticized cuffs at the leg openings. Although you indicate in your letter that this is a boy's garment, the sample submitted is clearly marked as a toddler girl's size 3T. Your sample will be returned as requested. The applicable subheading for the girl's coverall will be 6211.43.0007, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other garments, women's or girls': of man-made fibers: coveralls, jumpsuits and similar apparel: other, insulated for cold weather protection.
